  1. Pfizer has always been secretive and sneaky. In the 1970’s I had a friend whose father was a regional director with this company and he was always very circumspect and tight lipped about what he and this company did. Even back then they were having some problems with the government and were doing things that just didn’t seem right at the tie. So, this isn’t something new for this company, even though they originally didn’t have the company under their umbrella that is causing all of this trouble right now.
